Treasure Island

Jim Hawkins has led an ordinary life as an innkeeper's son until the day he inadvertently discovers a treasure map and his ordinary life turns into the extraordinary adventure of a lifetime. Carefully abridged for younger readers, this third addition to the Scribner Storybook Classic line. Full color.
Robert Louis Stevenson's classic pirate adventure that has thrilled readers for over a hundred years.

Masterfully crafted, Treasure Island is a stunning yarn of piracy on the fiery tropic seas--an unforgettable tale of treachery that embroils a host of legendary swashbucklers, from honest young Jim Hawkins, to sinister, two-timing Israel Hands, to evil incarnate, blind Pew. But above all, Treasure Island is a complex study of good and evil, as embodied by that hero-villain Long John Silver, the merrily unscrupulous buccaneer-rogue whose greedy quest for gold cannot help but win the heart of every soul who ever longed for romance, treasure, and adventure.
